Re: WBC approves FMJ to defend both 147/154 titles vs Chino

WBC is slipping. Senior would have let the others fight for either welter or super welter belt and award Floyd with pearls n' fairy dust sprinkled total welter control champ belt. But junior is young. Give him time to figure this one out..

What are everyone's thoughts?

Reminds me of sugar ray vs Donny Lelonde. Not. Floyd will retire and no one will blink an eye just like last time he retired. If Floyd fought Ggg at 154 then he deserves all accolades . He won't even fight PAC . In the next decade or two Floyd will be remembered as the guy who avoided a super fight . It's a blight on boxing but the new guys will overlap Floyd's avoidance of a super fight.

I'm afraid you are right Deep. For all Floyd's talent he will most be remembered for the fights that didn't happen. We should be looking at Floyd/Manny 3 by now. It's a shame.

I had people over for the Pac-Cotto fight and they were all asking me about Floyd-Manny that night. I was telling them it has to be the next fight, everybody wants it, everybody come back in six months I'll host again. That was five years ago and still no Superfight.
